The goal of the Rosetta CDs is to permit the comparison of the existing various free
programs of computer algebra, while launching the programs to be tested
directly from the CD, without having to install them beforehand on the hard
disk. There are two versions of the CD Rosetta: one for Linux and one for
Windows. The version for Linux has been achieved by Tim Daly, the version
for Windows by Michel Lavaud. Both CD-ROMs can be ordered through
AsTeX association, or downloaded on the net under compressed iso form, then
burnt. Further explanations to uncompress and to burn them are given in
section 2.1.
This chapter contains a brief introduction to the CD Rosetta for Windows. If you
have a copy of it and in a hurry to install it and to test it, you can go directly to
section 2.3.
